Hi, Does someone know if there is a mean to access Excel sheets from Pharo to get data? I don't want to use .csv files but .xls/.xlsx files.

If you're just going to use .xlsx files, it might be possible to unzip the file and peek the xml representation of that table (not that I've done it though). If you're going to support .xls / Excel < 2003 files, you will probably need a COM-bridge. I remember that I've seen it for Squeak in the past, I don't recall having seen it for Pharo. Another kind of hackish solution could be setting up an ODBC driver for Excel files and then using DBXTalk/ODBC or the ConfigurationOfODBC-based package.

All of this assuming you're running Pharo in Windows. Regards!

And in ConfigurationOfODBC there is no tests and doc so I don't know how to launch it... I heard about OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) to interact with Windows objects. Do you know it and what is the difference? All of this assuming you're running Pharo in Windows. Regards! Of course !

Yup - I don't know the excel xml format, just remembered that it might be an option... If you're going to support .xls / Excel < 2003 files, you will probably need a COM-bridge.

But when I launch the DBXTalk tests it asked me to choose a DBXODBX*Facility... Which one should I choose? here is how I connect to an access database on windows: execute once per session: OpenDBX current: NBPharoOpenDBX new. then (access): | aRow conn settings result | settings := DBXConnectionSettings host: '<dsn name>' port: '' database: '<database filename>' userName: '' userPassword: ''. conn := ((DBXConnection new settings: settings) platform: DBXOdbcBackend new) connect. conn open. result := conn execute: 'SELECT * FROM <table name>'. aRow := result nextRow. [ aRow notNil ] whileTrue: [ aRow values do: [ :value | Transcript show: value; show: $; ]. Transcript cr. aRow := result nextRow ]. conn close. Everything in <> brackets needs to be replaced by actual values. Also, the ODBC backend doesn't support many types => which will probably break too :-( And you will need libopendbx-1.dll, libopendbxplus-1.dll and opendbx\libodbcbackend-1.dll in your image directory. That all being said - before I'll dive into that, I would probably just whip up a vba script to convert the excel tables to text files in bulk. Thanks. Should I install some plugins? And in ConfigurationOfODBC there is no tests and doc so I don't know how to launch it... I think there are tests in the monticello repository next to the ODBC package (there's probably a script command to install them, but I am usually faster just installing the package from Monticello manually). Nope⦠Unfortunally there is nothing in http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/PharoExtras/ODBC/main ⦠ODBC seems actually not be a good solution. I have to create one ODBC connection by Excel file and I have many of them⦠I thinks that in my case OLE seems better.

I don't know about the ODBC wrapper for Pharo, but usually you don't need a DSN defined at the user/system level, you can build your own connection string for the DSN, which will likely specify the path to the source file. I did this in the past with Dolphin Smalltalk (Win32) with no issues whatsoever. Regards,
I'm working on XLSX / ODS support code just now. Nothing done on *reading* the data yet, but it may be easily switched. But my plans do not includes support of (binary) XLS format. 2014-12-09 20:05 GMT+03:00 Esteban A. Maringolo <emaringolo@gmail.com>:

Yes, including this, but not limited to this. I.e. not only generation, but also reading. Generation is just somewhat simpler - so I started from this point.

You could probably do it with Redline Smalltalk via Apache POI. On Mon, Dec 8, 2014 at 6:22 AM, Blondeau Vincent < vincent.blondeau@worldline.com> wrote:
